Spilling Thought: A breathtaking aerial view of the Gates of the Arctic #NationalPark and Preserve in #Alaska. This photo was taken by Student Conservation Association intern Devdharm Khalsa (@DevdharmKhalsa), who got to see the park in most spectacular fashion while documenting the work of a National Park archaeology crew this summer. “The sight I saw as we helicoptered into the park was awe-inspiring. Pristine rivers -- the surface glittering like thousands of diamonds -- flowing hundreds of feet below us, vast mountain valleys, towering peaks and patches of boreal forest dotted the tundra landscape. It was a dream come true for me.” All this week, we’re featuring photos taken by @the_SCA members. A non-profit that connects young people with conservation service opportunities on public lands across the country, SCA has interns and #conservation corps members in all 50 states -- providing students with the opportunity to work with rangers and biologists to protect, restore and promote #publiclands. by usinterior
